Question

If x=p+2, find p from the following equation.

Answer 1

\[p-(x-3/3)=2/3(4-x)\]

Answer 2

Multiply by 3 on both LHS and RHS.

Then substitute p = x-2 and find x.

Answer 3

since x = p + 2 substute p+2 to every x

p - (p+2 - 3/3) = 2/3(4 - p - 2)

Answer 4

After you find x, substitute your x in p = x-2 to find p

Answer 5

ok!
